Definitions
- the present invention relates to a press arrangement and, more particularly, to a press arrangement having mechanical drive elements, a punch and a press table spaced from the table with an adjustable mounting arrangement being provided at the drive elements for selectively varying the spacing between the table and the punch and with a pressure space arranged in a path of force between respective articulations of a drive element and the punch so as to form a pressure cushion which is selectively filled and relieved of a pressure medium.
- Presses have been proposed, for example, in Offenlegungsschrift 1,627,954 wherein a pressure space is filled with a pressure medium so as to form a pressure cushion in the punch.
- a screw arrangement is provided on a drive element articulated at the punch, which screw arrangement serves to vary a distance between the punch and press table.
- the screw arrangement is tensionable only at that point by, for example, a lock nut.
- presses of another type are disclosed wherein a screw arrangement is constructed from a rotatable drivable threaded nut that is axially fixed in a punch with a non-rotatable bolt axially guided in the punch cooperating with the nut and with one end of the bolt being articulated to a press drive element. Additionally, tensioning means for the screw arrangement are provided and constructed, for example, as a counter-pressure screw or a lock nut.
- the aim underlying the present invention essentially resides in providing a press having mechanical drive elements in which a constantly-acting or permanently-acting tensioning of the screw arrangement is obtained by utilizing a relievable pressure space or pressure cushion which is generally necessary to release a seized punch.
- a screw arrangement for varying the distance between the punch and press table which includes a rotatable and drivable threaded nut axially fixed in the punch and a bolt means cooperating therewith which is non-rotatable but axially guided in the punch.
- One end of the bolt means is pivotally connected to a drive element of the press with the other end thereof cooperating with a piston defining a pressure space forming a pressure cushion.
- a press arrangement wherein, during an operation of the press arrangement, a pretensioning of the pressure medium to the relievable pressure space may be adjusted whereby a transfer of a force by way of the pressure cushion in the pressure space is greater than a maximum force to be applied by the drive elements of the press arrangement.
- a pretension state in operation of the press arrangement, a constantly-acting or permanently-acting tension on the screw arrangement is created so as to compensate for any play in the thread of the screw arrangement.
- the pressure space and pressure cushion therein which can be relieved or unloaded, in an unloaded or relieved state, a release of a seized punch is readily possible. Moreover, an unloading or relieving of the pressure space can be effected if the screw arrangement is to be adjusted to, for example, adjust or change the distance between the punch and press table.
- the piston floats between the pressure cushion in the pressure space and the end of the bolt means so that the floating piston is acted upon by the pressure medium charge of the pressure cushion with the force of the pressure cushion being applied directly to the end of the bolt means by the floating piston.
- a further object of the present invention resides in providing a press arrangement which enables a constantly-acting or permanently-acting tension on an adjusting arrangement of the punch and press table.
- Yet another object of the present invention resides in providing a press arrangement which functions reliably under all operating conditions.
- a still further object of the present invention resides in providing a press arrangement which compensates for any play in the adjusting arrangement of the punch and press table and which permits adjusting of the adjusting arrangement in a relatively simple manner.
- FIG. 1 is a partially schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of a press arrangement in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are vertical cross-sectional views of the press arrangement of FIG. 1 illustrating maximum and minimum separation of a punch from a press table.
- a press arrangement which includes a punch generally designated by the reference character P having spaced punch walls 11 and a bottom wall 7 defining an opening or chamber for accommodating a pot-shaped cylinder 6, seated on the bottom wall 7, in which cylinder is slidably received a piston 4.
- a conventional sealing means 4' is provided at the piston 4 to prevent a leakage of a pressure medium supplied from a suitable pressure medium source (not shown) to a pressure space 5 defined between a lower surface 4a of the piston 4 and the pot-shaped cylinder 6.
- a sleeve 9 is received in the punch P and is fixedly secured thereto by suitable fastening means such as, for example, bolts or screws 10.
- a threaded bolt 3 is received in the punch P and is pivotally connected to a drive element, for example, a piston rod 1, by a bolt or pin 2 so as to be non-rotatable with respect to the punch P and axially movable with respect to the sleeve 9 and punch P.
- a nut 8 is axially fixed and rotatably mounted in the punch P between the sleeve 9 and pot-shaped cylinder 6.
- the nut 8 cooperates with the threads on the threaded bolt 3 and is provided on its outer periphery with an external toothing 12.
- the piston 4 floats in the pressure space 5 and, upon a pressure medium being supplied to the pressure space 5, the pressure medium acts upon the piston surface 4a so that the piston surface 4b bears directly upon the end of the threaded bolt 3.
- a drive means is provided for driving or rotating the nut 8 so as to adjust the distance between the punch P and a press table 16.
- the drive means includes a rotatable shaft 14 mounted in the punch P which has mounted thereon a gear 13 cooperating with a further gear 13a fixedly mounted on one end of a rotatable shaft 13b with a further gear 13c being provided at the other end of the shaft 13b for cooperating with the external toothing 12 of the nut 8.
- a conduit 15 is provided which communicates the pressure space 5 with a pressure medium source (not shown).
- a conventional control means is operatively connected with the conduit 15 and/or the pressure medium source so as to permit the pressure medium to be fed to the pressure space 5 and also permit a relieving or discharging of the pressure medium from the pressure space 5 through the conduit 15 so as to relieve the pressure in the pressure space 5.
- the punch P is arranged in a press above a press table 16 in a conventional manner and the pressure space is relieved or unloaded so as to permit an adjustment of the distance between the punch P and the press table by the drive means rotating or driving the nut 8.
- the pressure space 5 is charged or filled with a pressure medium so as to cause the piston surface 4b of the piston 4 to bear against the end of the threaded bolt 3, thereby creating a constantly-acting or permanently-acting tension on the adjusting arrangement of the bolt 3 and the nut 8.
- FIG. 2 provides an illustration of the positioning of the respective elements when the punch P is adjusted at a maximum distance from the press table with FIG. 3 providing an illustration of an adjustment of the punch P at a minimum distance from the press table.
- the punch P may be set at any desired position between the two extreme positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
